Apple Rolls Out iOS 12 Developer Beta 8 After Pull back of Beta 7

After pulling back iOS 12 Developer Beta 7 three days ago after the release was touted as one of the most faulty updates till date, Apple launched its next version of the update – iOS 12 Developer Beta 8 yesterday.

iOS 12 Developer Beta 7 was launched for developers to download and explore on Monday but the user reviews that came strung along were in the line of app crashes, very high app load time, and an evident absence of Group FaceTime.

In order to curb the horror stories that surfaced with Beta 7, Apple has launched iOS 12 Developer Beta 8 with a series of improvements, while some issues still remain.

List of Issues that have been resolved with iOS 12 Developer Beta 8

Apps no more take 10 mins to an hour to launch after the app icon is pressed.

Settings doesn’t automatically quit when users try to view or choose voice in the Speech setting.

When using CarPlay, the Shortcuts that need configuration still work.

When running the NSUserActivity shortcut, Siri now automatically opens the app.

While these four glaring Beta 7 issues have been resolved with the latest iOS 12 Developer Beta 8 update, there are still some issues that are yet to be resolved. While iOS mobile app developers who are onto the update would have already encountered these issues, Let’s nonetheless take a look at them.

Issues Still Prevalent in iOS 12 Developer Beta 8

The statistics related to ‘Picked Up Phone’ is coming inflated because of syncing of data from other devices in the same iCloud account.
